Dragon Age Inquisition Crashes
So, I'm currently at the battle with Alexius and the moment he spawns the first rift my game instantly crashes and I can't progress anymore. I've tried every solution I can think of: hard reboot, clea...

@sylvanaerieLong load times can be caused by enabling Mantle on a Radeon R9 300 series GPU.
Hmm how would I do (or undo) that? Looking at my PC specs, I have a Radeon 9200. I don't see Mantle as an option in any of the tabs I opened.
Normally it's in the display options, but your particular Radeon card doesn't have the supported architecture for Mantle, so that's not causing the issue.
The Radeon 9200 is actually very far below the system requirements, which would explain the long load times.
Wait, how can I have played the game at all (and I had no troubles initially with it) if my card isn't good enough to play the game?
Obviously, you have no idea at all what a Radeon 9200 really is, or even AGP. You couldn't possibly have either of those, really. Re-read what I told you about it. Here is a review dating back into the dark ages when it was hammered out with the flint tools of the cavemen working for Sapphire at the time:

It is actually thirteen years now since that was released. Compare what your GPU looks like to the ancient etchings included with the review scroll.
(And here is the AGP to PCIe physical appearance difference):

The Radeon 9200 dates back a dozen years, pre-Dx9, even, and was as poor then as the horrible IGPs of the same period. I recall seeing some overstock sales on eBay offering ten of them for $45 USD, plus shipping, when they were about three years out of production. They were only produced in the pre-PCIe varieties of AGP and plain PCI.
